InKAS would like to offer an opportunity for overseas Korean adoptees living all over the world to take an online TESOL course (at reasonable price). As the demand for English teachers is very high in Korea, English teacher position is one of the careers a number of people from the U.S, Canada, Australia, or Europe living in Korea choose. We continue to support Korean adoptees to find a way to have a stable life here in Korea. This is also aimed to helping overseas Korean adoptees have a higher chance of getting a job.

2014 Online TESOL Course Overview:

120-hour certification course designed by the Academy of Languages & Training Canada (www.atcbc.com)Overseas Korean adoptees participate in this online program anywhere around the world if they have a computer and access to the Internet. You can listen to the lessons even at home, so if you invest some money and your free time, you may be able to learn about teaching English to foreigners and improve your teaching skills you come home after work or school. If you are planning to start your career as an English teacher in Korea, you can make yourself more competitive by joining this program before coming to Korea.

Barista Education for Korean Adoptees(2nd)

Purpose and Background

Firstly, a barista is a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks. In Korea, the coffee business is blooming and there are a lot of coffee shops. So, these companies need workers in order to effectively manage their coffee branches.

For this reason, we offer this education program to you. This program starts off with the understanding of coffee, shows you diverse ways to extract espresso from coffee beans and gives you an opportunity to make coffee. You can enjoy drinking and making coffee with other people and receive information regarding the career path of a barista through this program. This program will give you the opportunity to maintain economic stability in the future for yourself by increasing the ability to get an engage in a supportive community.

※ The syllabus (details of the curriculum) of the program can be found at the end.

※ IMPORTANT ※

The completion of this program DOES NOT make you a certified barista. You still need to take the barista exam. This program however, may prepare you for the barista exam.

If you want to take the barista exam, please continue reading.

You can register for the exam at "Tom N Toms Coffee Academy". If you pass the exam then you will become a coffee master level 2. There are two parts to the exam. The first part is a writing exam and the second part is a performance exam. You first need to pass the writing exam in order to take the performance exam. You should pay for the registration fee.

Language Bound is a social enterprise that teaches English to children from impoverished backgrounds. As much as knowing English is an asset measured for today’s success in Korea, affording English courses are often reserved for the upper class. By offering higher education of English to low-income children, Language Bound’s goal is to offset Korea’s educational social imbalance while creating more jobs dedicated to Korean adoptees.

What Language Bound is looking for?

Unlike most English institutes many experienced English teachers are familiar with, empirical experience shows that our program differs greatly.

1. Prepare to be patient with many of these children for it may be their first time receiving extra-curricular education apart from school.

2. Acknowledge the difference of the working environment in comparison to other teaching experiences. Language Bound is an institutionalized combination of educational and humanitarian group effort to help expose children to the larger global world.

3. We look for one’s maturity, dependability and commitment not only as employees to Language Bound, but also as teachers to young children in classroom settings.

4. Lastly, we are looking for someone with the heart and enthusiasm working with children.

* The training will consists of 1 night and 2 days of Training Camp and 1 week of Training and Preparation. Both of them will be held in February and will be non-paid (Therefore, hired Language Bound instructors will be paid from March). During Training and Preparation, the teachers will develop teaching materials for the first semester, give a lecture in front of other teachers based on what they learn at Training Camp, and do pre-visiting local children welfare centers in their location.

*Please choose one of the following areas that you want to work and show it on your resume

- Seoul, Gyunggi, Incheon, Busan

* InKAS will respond only to those candidates who meet the qualifications and requirements of the position.

* Prior to beginning work for InKAS/Language Bound, and as a condition of employment, all instructors must go through medical checkup as well as provide a copy of criminal history record(Reference: further details are offered at your national embassy)
